My new rare Lasonic TRC922

Well a couple of guys really are not into these, but there are a few who just love them..  So here it is......the Lasonic TRC922 which I have waited almost two years to try and replace.... I started working on it about 1:00am and finished around 9:00am. It was very dirty and very crackly. Chrome dust cap fell off one speaker in transit, white speakers were yellow and red were faded pink and deck wasn't working because of bad belts and no drive tire. Surprisingly she cleaned up real nice. All controls and deck was cleaned. All chrome had to be shined up. Belts replaced and I can't believe I made a drive tire out of two tires because I didn't have the right size and  I couldn't find one through studio sound or anywhere else. So I put one tire on and put second over it and with drops of super glue to hold in place and some sanding and cleaning and she works perfect ... I then painted speakers white and with red permanent marker colored in tweeters. I also touched up red faded markings on top and led meter..Then reglued chrome dust cap on and put her all back together and she purrs like a kitten and looks oh so sweet !!!!

stick around and you will learn, iv'e been collecting 7 years now and still see boxes iv'e never seen before.

diversity in 80s boomboxes was phenomenal, unlike todays crappy bland electronics

This model has total style Bill. I love what You've done for her. Superb restoration. Yet another gem rescued and brought into a loving home where it will be cherished.
